In linkage maps, you may see distances expressed as centimorgans or map units rather than recombination frequencies. Luckily, there's a direct relationship among these values: a 1 % recombination frequency is equivalent to 1 centimorgan or 1 map unit.
A genetic map shows the map distance, in cM, that separates any two loci, and the position of these loci relative to all other mapped loci. The genetic map distance is roughly proportional to the physical distance, i.e., the amount of DNA between two loci.

31 mar 2019 · Map distance is the distance between genes. To determine the distance between the genes for vestigial wing and black body, we must estimate the average number of crossovers in the gametes of the doubly heterozygous F1 females (vg+vg, b+b)
The units of genetic distance are called map units (mu) or centiMorgans (cM), in honor of Thomas Hunt Morgan by his undergraduate student, Alfred Sturtevant, who developed the concept of genetic maps. Geneticists routinely directly convert the recombination frequencies of two loci into cM.
19 maj 2021 · Let's call r the recombination distance (in map units) between l and s. Each recombination between l and s produces 2 recombinant gametes: 1 ls and 1 LS. Thus the fraction of ls gametes - f (ls) - will be (r/2)/100 and the fraction of LS gametes - f (LS) - will also be (r/2)/100.
Calculate the map distance between loci given the phenotypes of offspring or predict phenotypes of offspring given the recombination frequency between loci. Use the distance to construct genetic maps based on data from two-point or three-point testcrosses.
